Great Time with Captain Joe

VERIFIED

Half Day Trip on April 5, 2025

It was my first time fishing the Lake Placid area. Captain Joe knew the Lake well , and I started catching fish right off the bat. Captain Joe was very knowledgeable about fishing the area and I had a great time fishing with him.
